' Get a reference to the System.String type.
Dim stringType As Type = Type.GetType("System.String")
Dim minfos() As MemberInfo

' Get only public, instance methods and properties

minfos = stringType.FindMembers(MemberTypes.Method Or MemberTypes.Property, _
    BindingFlags.Public Or BindingFlags.Instance, AddressOf FilterByName, "C")
